<span style="font-size: small;">The previous world record was 540 dancing robots, which was achieved in February this year. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">During CCTV Spring Festival Gala in Shenzhen, China, UBTECH Robotics Corp. set a spectacular  record for the R<b>obots dancing simultaneously</b>, as an incredible 540 machines proved to be perfectly in sync backing dancers for famous Chinese singer Sun Nan. </span><br />
<br />
<div>
The robot routine was filmed 
and broadcast during the popular annual televised variety show which 
sees around 700 million people tune in each year. </div>
<div>
Sun Nan sang a song called ‘Going to the Top’, which celebrated the technological achievements of China.</div>
<div>
The
 robots – which are 398 mm tall and weigh around 1.5 kilograms each – 
are named ‘Alpha 1S’, and the model is China’s first programmable and 
interactive robot that was specifically designed for family 
entertainment.</div>
<div>
The
 robots were expertly set up by a technical team of 24 people and the 
final performance proved to be flawlessly in time with the music.</div>
<div>
The sparkling finale saw 26 drones drop a cloud of glitter over the dancing computers.</div>
